Family Photography, Jason & Anne Goodwin | Northern VA Family Photographer
As professional photographers located in Northern Virginia and serving the Fair Oaks area, we know how very much family pictures mean to you. We specialize in family photography and creating beautiful portraits which you’ll treasure for years to come.
When Anne decided it was time to have family portraits done this year, she brought her family to Ever After Portraits. Jason, Anne and Jocelyn are a beautiful family who value portraits and normally have a portrait done each year. They love doing things together as a family, just hanging out or socializing. Jason enjoys sports, and Anne enjoys an occasional trip to a winery/vineyard. Having an active little girl keeps them running and busy!
To Anne, the most important thing about their family portraits was capturing the three of them together, the history of their family.
As is often the case with Dads, Jason doesn’t love having his picture taken, but he was truly a good sport, and we captured some lovely moments within this family.

For a piece to be framed and legitimately deserve the term “museum quality,” it needs to have these attributes:

Ever After is located in Northern VA and serves the surrounding area, including Burke. We specialize in family and child photography and in creating beautiful portraits which you’ll treasure for years to come. We will provide you with the best photography experience you have ever had.
Tanvi was a perfect Bubblegum Princess! With her long dark hair and a sparkle in her eyes, she was so easy to photograph – an outgoing young lady with a contagious laugh, she appeared relaxed and at ease in front of the camera. In fact, I see modeling in the future for this lovely little lady.
With over 1,000 gumballs to play in and with, Tanvi really had a ball (pun intended) at this special Limited Edition Children’s Portrait Session. Mom and Dad were a true pleasure to work with, and we could easily see they really cherish Tanvi. They played and laughed throughout this session, too, and we enjoyed bringing out the best laughs and smiles from Tanvi.
Joriana and I felt it was the best compliment that one of Tanvi’s portraits is now displayed in her room as a 30×40 – an heirloom she will treasure for many years to come!

How can I decorate my home with the ones I love and still use color? | Northern VA Family Photographer

Incorporating color into your family portraits can be intimidating! What if it’s too much or too little? What if it just doesn’t look right?
At Ever After, we take the worry out of your family portraits by reviewing the color palette of the room in which you are displaying your portraits. Then we will try to make life easier for you by offering visual clothing suggestions. The goal of these suggestions is to assist you in choosing clothing that will complement the skin tones of your family as well as your home décor. After all, you want to display your family portrait on the walls of your home – and you want it to look gorgeous there!
Before each portrait session, we discuss with our clients their home décor style and the colors they use in their homes. With that information, we then custom style each session for that client, determine what props and colors will be pulled out, if any, to complement the wall upon which they want to display their portraits.
In general, clothing should be in a classic style, not trendy, as trendy styles tend to look old and outdated quickly! Solid colors are the best choice, with accessories in complementary shades of colors which add depth to the portrait, such as a necklace for Mom, a scarf for Dad, and a cool hat or ribbon for the kids.
Don’t feel that because you have bold-colored walls, you can’t have bold portraits! In the example below, the room has dark blue walls. To build on that and to play up the golden colors in the room, shades of yellow and paler shades of blue were used. The family portraits are the focal point of the room, as they should be. The portraits and the décor work well together; neither overpowers the other. As a result, you have a room which is styled well.
The room below is open and airy, with read more…
